At least they got their gold this time.

The last time they asked for their gold back Nixon "temporarily" ended the convertibility of the USD to gold.

It’s exactly the opposite. Last time France was trying to exchange USD to gold. This time France was selling gold presumably exchanging gold to USD in New York.
